haha i'm still down if you're still down...
ugh I wanted to support the project but apparently I need to have a credit card for that, which i don't.
It looks like an interesting concept and I would love to see this get released but billy, seriously, that video you put up makes it all look like a massive joke/troll of kickstarter. I mean it's funny and all, especially with that zoom in, but usually you show gameplay while you're talking as well instead of waiting, stairing at the camera while talking for almost a minute, and then showing gameplay. It makes it look a lot better and have a more professional feel to it.
Other than that, I wish you good luck, you deserve to finally get to do something like that.
I'm not backing it until I know at least half the money is going towards heroin.
Or strippers.
so am I going to get credited for the explosion animation and some of the textures since this appears to be Wonder Knight Radish reskinned?
Or.....? What? Whats the deal here?
I'm not upset or anything though I do find it comical I only found out about this since BluPheonix linked me to it.
Was anyone planning on telling me the game I was helping texture was scrapped and made into something else without my involvement or what?
Were you afraid of offending me or....?
Whats the deal here?
Are Jake and Bug actually correct about how slinky you are?
Looks nice anyway.
Glad you took my suggestion of using normal/parallax mapping on the walls.
Enjoy your money.
Buy a boat.
Damn... I thought Billy was nothing but spam and cockjokes... (no offense)
The graphics are nice but the levels look a bit empty in their current state. It might have been wiser to start this in a more advanced stage of the project.
Also I have to agree... the video was quite unprofessional and I think that you are aware of the details... But that is by no means supposed to imply that I didn't like it.
Nevertheless, you've set your goal quite high and it seems unlikely that you will collect 15 grands for this but I still wish you the best of luck.

oooh yeah i noticed the textures you made. Maybe they're just in there as placeholders or something for now but i get what you're saying here.
edit: at the very bottom of the kickstarter page a note actually mentions you, lenko and fearn.
I already talked to Zekey about this and it was a misunderstanding. I'm totally psyched to get slapped with a little bit of drama the moment I post here, though. Let's forget this happened and if anyone else has a problem they can feel free to message me personally?
The Kickstarter is doing pretty well. Please continue to donate and tell friends about it so it can continue to do pretty well.
:)

planning on throwing some dosh in there before it ends. definitely looks cool so far and looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Yeah I'm going to put something in too sooner or later
i have more friends to tell about it, specifically irl. the hardest part is going to be keeping up the initial momentum in donations. eventually someone's going to have to post it on reddit with the words "indie game"
A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
donated $0 good luck guys :-)

I think billy mentioned doing it himself in the near future
good luck guys, MAKE IT GREAT (also keep the bird in, I REALLY LIKE IT ;DDDDD)
game looks like it could be neat, id give a little if i had some money and if i didnt spend what little i have on stuff i actually want
also billy has very nice white teeth, you guys could try and get sponsored

I'm totally putting that picture on the next content update.
i donated! ^-^
honestly it doesn't look very good, the gimmick is interesting enough but from the preview footage it looks really bad in-game, as if it's really basic with simple building blocks rather than a powerful tool for creating your own maps
this is bad because the rest of the gameplay looks poor as well, like it doesn't actually look fun to play as the moveset appears basic and watered down and all it has going for it is the map design mechanic which needs to go through more iterations before it can be considered worthwhile
are you going to let people set up custom props too? like plants or torches to create atmosphere? different lights, bugs flying around, etc? just playing a terraria knockoff would be kind of a waste
as for the designs, the main character looked like he was flailing a dildo around until you showed the stills at the end and he's not cool or appealing, looks more like a random npc design when you ran out of other things to stick horns, spikes and dicks on, like a goblin or some shit
also what's to stop people from making levels with nigh-impossible jumps to gain 'rewards'?
i also think billy's performance in the video was kind of dull (why is the camera pointed up into your fucking colossal nose? why the fuck did you barricade your window you weird fuck??) but ryan talking about crap like keyframes and shit isn't all that informative or interesting to people who want to learn about the game - anyone interested in the design process would know, and everyone else would probably not care
rework the main character (or better yet, add character customization), make the movesets more interesting (or add a ton of shitty combos, every faggot and their gay dads love that garbage) and vastly expand, flesh out and explain the map design mechanic (most important since this is the gimmick the game relies on to stand out)
watched it with sound now, really not a fan of the music and sound effects :/

what you see in the video is just a portion of what we have planned for the game. what led you to believe what you saw in the demo video was all the gameplay is going to entail? billy had me do only a fraction of the game animations that the main character will have. the rest of the characters are placeholders, and artists haven't even touched the environments yet. were you expecting a fully finished game in a trailer for a kickstarter?
Quotealso what's to stop people from making levels with nigh-impossible jumps to gain 'rewards'?
i guess you didn't bother to read the FAQ. it's one of the first questions answered. levels will be gauged by difficulty - so if a level is near impossible, the player will know before entering it, and the rewards will be higher. if it's literally impossible, it won't make the cut.
but what if youre playing with a friend and choose to fail a bunch of times so you can get dosh

That could have easily been explained in the video, and it's the first think that pops into my and probably everyone else's mind, and it's more important to the average kickstarter user than the animation process. I get an overall feeling the game hasn't been planned out or designed well.
lmao all of the answers to your questions are right on the page. i'm sorry that this makes you so mad.
sounds like someone is jealous they didn't make super meat boy

didn't macmillen also do something similar with in "time fcuk"? i remember there being random user made levels which annoyed a lot of players since there was no way to refer to a walkthrough if stuck. maybe this idea has pitfalls! watch out!
if you don't like the game then don't support it. no one is forcing you to make an investment in something you have no interest in. if you have a problem with billy or the game itself then leave it out of this topic. this isn't a scam or a ripoff, there are other kickstarters that promise the best game ever made and all kinds of ridiculous crap, this isn't anything like that - i don't see why an indie developer wouldn't be capable of producing what is being presented in the kickstarter. not like any of you have experience in game development. i do, and i like the game idea and i'd like to animate it so i am supporting it. i have confidence billy knows what he's doing. and if you're going to be critical, be constructive instead of looking like a conceited ass. it looks especially bad when you have no idea what you're talking about.
yes the video could have been more clear but i'm sure you are all perfectly capable of reading the information below the video which answers all of your repetitive questions.
Looks and sounds interesting. I've always thought it would be sweet to see your art style in a game rtil. Hope you guys can pull it off, good luck!
I gotta take a good long look at this page to make my decision. I'm leaning in support.
I like the main guy's horn. c:
If I weren't broke though, I'd totally give some support moneys. It looks super cool!
